The former figure skater has been charged with being part of a northern New Jersey drug ring. Bobek, 31, made her first court appearance by video from the Hudson County Jail. Bobek, who has homes in New York and Jupiter, Fla., was arrested in Florida last week. She is charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Hudson County. Attorney Sam DeLuca entered a not-guilty plea for Bobek. She was held on $200,000 bail and faces up to 10 years in prison if she's convicted. Twenty people have been arrested in connection with the ring. Bobek won the U.S. figure-skating title in 1995.

The first-round pick has yet to break a sweat in practice for the Bucks, and he's already doing a little backpedaling on defense. Jennings expressed regret for drawing unwanted attention when his profanity-laced and provocative conversation with a rapper was videotaped and posted on YouTube last week. "I'm glad that it happened now, something that I can learn from," Jennings said. "Now I know you can't trust everybody. Everybody's not your friend. It was a joke." In the video, Jennings boasted that he will beat out Luke Ridnour and made a profane comment about the Knicks for not drafting him.
